After a shambolic whitewashing in the Tests, Team India IND will now shift their focus to the 1st ODI against South Africa SA at the Jharkhand State Cricket Association International Stadium Complex in Ranchi on Sunday, November 30. This series will see India's star pair of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli back in action after their successful outing in Australia.
India lost their last ODI series against Australia by a 1-2 margin, which was played Down Under. However, the biggest positive was the form of Rohit Sharma, as he was also named the Player of the Series for showing brilliant form throughout the three matches. As Shubman Gill is injured, KL Rahul will be leading the team, whereas Rishabh Pant will be handling the duties as wicketkeeper.
South Africa, on the contrary, have had a similar story when it comes to their previous One-Day International series, which happened in an away tour against Pakistan. The visitors had lost two out of the three games. However, the squad will look to start afresh and pose a challenge to the Indians following their recent performances in the red-ball leg of the tour.
